Celebrating Our 75+ Years of History…
Michael J. Kelly & Son, Incorporated was established in 1947. Michael J. Kelly, Sr. emigrated from Kent, England and resided in Wayne, Pennsylvania. He went on to raise a family of ten children including Michael J. Kelly, Jr. who began learning the trade at a very young age working with his father.
Wayne, Pennsylvania … Where we live and work — Since 1947.
In 1990, the reigns were passed on to Mike, Jr. who began expanding the company. As a result of decades of satisfied customers and hard work, he was able to expand beyond interior and exterior painting. The company since included services such as faux finishes, wallcovering installation and removal, carpentry, power washing, plastering and stucco finishes.
For over 75 years, Michael J. Kelly and Son has maintained a reputation of professionalism amongst not only their clients but others in the industry. The company has been a member of the PDCA, Painting and Decorating Contractors of America, www.PDCA.org, since 1950. They are also a member of WIA, Wallcovering Installers Association since 1984. Both organizations set forth “Industry Standards" that its members must abide by which defines accountability in the field.
